SURVEY DETAILS
TARGET POPULATION

For this Network Survey, GLG surveyed 50 senior executives working in the injectables manufacturing industry (OEMs and CDMOs) across the US and Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, and France).

 

What will you learn from this survey?

  • Respondents shared insights into the injectable drug delivery landscape, highlighting strong growth in autoinjectors for GLP-1s and biologics, a shift toward fully disposable devices by 2030, and increasing demand for cost-effective, design-to-manufacture models.
  • Furthermore, the survey examined key challenges and trends, including the cost-effectiveness of sustainable solutions, cartridge-based pen injectors as alternatives, and demand forecasting difficulties driven by rising GLP-1 adoption.
  • It also explored tariff sensitivity and supply chain disruptions caused by geopolitical risks and material shortages – particularly drug substances.

 

Examples of findings:

  • Close to nine-in-ten (86%) stated that the current demand for GLP-1 drug in prefilled syringe-based autoinjector format has increased.
  • Over four-in-ten (41%) indicated that tariffs and geopolitical risks are having a negative impact on their supply chain for self-injection devices, although the same proportion reported a neutral impact.
  • Over one-in-two respondents (53%) expect injectable drug delivery devices to be fully disposable by 2030.

Deliverables
